A'amal Umme Dawood 15 Rajab

Be it
known that the best a'mal for middle of Rajab is Do'a-e-Umme Dawood. It is
best for fulfilment of desires and removal of oppressions and calamities.
Imam
Ja'far-e-Sadiq (A.S.)
said"Do not
teach this amal to each and everyone lest some should perform it for
illegitimate purpose. It contains Great Name of Allah (Isme Azam) and every
desire will be attained for which it is performed in spite of all hurdles,
even if doors of heaven and earth are shut as it were, Allah will suffice
even if all the mankind and genie are against the performer and every body
will be subjugated. If performed, in any other month other than Rajab, in
the middle of the month after observing fast on 13th, 14th and 15th it will
carry the same benefit. It is also beneficial to perform this amal on any
auspicious day like Friday or Arfa without observing fast.

A'amal METHOD

In the word of Shaykh al-Tusiy, in his book of
‘MiSbah al-Mutahajjid,’ one who intend to do this act is required to observe
fasting on the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of Rajab. At the
midday of the fifteenth, one should bathe himself. After midday, one should
offer the obligatory Zuhr and `ASr Prayers so excellently that one should do
all the parts perfectly. It is advisable to be in a vacant place so as not
to be engaged with anything and not to be addressed by anyone.

When the (obligatory) prayer is accomplished,
one should face the kiblah and recite from www.Tanzil.infoSurah
ofal-Fatihahone
hundred times, Surah ofal-Tawhedone
hundred times, and Ayat al-Kursiyten
times. Afterward, Surahs ofal-An`am(No.
6),al-Isra’ (also calledBane-Isra'el;
No. 17),al-Kahf(No.
18),Luqman(No.
31),Yasen(No.
36),al-Wasaffat(No.
37),al-Zukhruf(No.
43),al-Shura(No.
42),Al-Dukhan(No.
44),al-Fath(No.

56),al-Mulk(No.
67),al-Qalam(No.
68),al-Inshiqaq(No.
84) and all the Surahs following up to the end of the Holy Qur'an.

After reciting all these Surahs, one may, still
facing the kiblah, recite the following: Mp3

the
one in charge of the Trumpet (that declares the Resurrection
Day),

She was Fātima, the mother of Dāwūd, a great grandson
of the 2nd Imam, Hasan al- Mujtaba (a) and a foster brother of the 6th Imam,
Ja‘far al-Sādiq (a). Umm Dāwūd had served as a wet nurse to Imam as-Sādiq
(a).

Once, the 6

th
Imam (a) was ill so
Fātima (Umm Dāwūd) went to visit him. During her visit the Imam inquired
about his [foster] brother Dāwūd. Fātima replied that she had lost hope in
finding him, for she did not even know whether he was alive or dead. The
Imam taught her an A‘māl (a combination of Qur’anic recitations,
supplications and prayers) that was very effective in getting a quick
outcome of one’s legal needs. It is said that, whoever performs this A‘māl,
the doors of skies are opened for him/her, and the angels descend from
heavens to receive him and to inform him of the good news of acceptance.

Umm Dāwūd said that she waited till she performed the
A‘māl on 15

th of Rajab. The next day
someone knocked the door and, to her amazement it was her son Dāwūd, who got
released from the prison. Dāwūd narrated to her mother that he was held in a
very high security prison with chains on his neck, hands and feet. Suddenly,
one fine day the guards came in and took him to Mansūr, the ruler. He
ordered the chains to be removed, gave Dāwūd ten thousand Dirhams, and a
fast ride to take to him home.

It is
reported authentically that Umme Dawood asked wether this Amal can be
performed in anyother month than Rajab. The Holy Imam replied in the
affirmative and said that it can be performed on Day of Arfa and if
perchance Arfa falls on Fri day, the performer will not have finished yet
that he will be absolved of his sins.

This Amal
can be performed in any month. One should observe fast on 13th, 14th and
15th day of the month and recite this Do'a on 15th as described above. His
wish inshaallah will be fulfilled.
